> When adding a Projections.groupProperty("prop") to a criteria, the property is added to both the GROUP BY and SELECT parts of the generated SQL query. This is a major problem for using the criteria API for complex subselects that require aggregating by a column while grouping by another column.
> There is presently no way in the criteria API to group by a column and have it _ONLY_ in the GROUP BY clause.
> i.e.
> currently Projections.groupProperty("propOne") causes:
> SELECT propOne, MAX(propTwo) FROM table GROUP BY prop
> desired option is to have
> SELECT MAX(propTwo) FROM table GROUP BY prop
> There have been several people talking about this, but there appears to have been 'no comment'.
